Lead-Up to the Cuban Revolution
Castro and the Cuban Revolution
After the Spanish-American War, the U.S. military directly administered the island until 1902, when Cuba became a republic, with sugar as its main commercial export. After a financial crisis and persistent governmental corruption, Gerardo Machado was elected as Cuba’s president in 1925, pledging reform. Instead, Machado became Cuba’s first dictatorial ruler, until he was ousted in 1933 after a revolt led by Fulgencio Batista, a rising star in the Cuban military.
Various presidents came and went over the next two decades, but Batista remained a constant force. He served as president himself from 1940-44, and ran for a second term in 1952. Facing defeat, he overthrew the government in a bloodless coup and canceled the elections.
Fidel Castro and the 26th of July Movement
Castro, a young lawyer and activist, had been running for Congress as part of the Cuban People’s Party before Batista seized power. Seeking to arm a revolutionary opposition to the Batista regime, he led a raid against the Moncada army barracks in the city of Santiago de Cuba on July 26, 1953. Most of the group was killed; Castro and his younger brother, Raúl, escaped but were later arrested and imprisoned.

Cuban heritage: the architecture of the revolution.
Matteo Barisone , Niccolò Pozzi
Abstract
The Cuban Socialist Revolution - one of the most important pages of contemporary Latin American history - deeply changed the internal relationships of the country's political, social and cultural structure. With its anthropocentric influence, architecture suffered the most from these changes given its close connection with society and the economy. From its earliest moves, the Revolutionary Government initiated a vast plan of "Welfare Architecture" intended to change the irrational and immoral social divide traced by the dictatorship and the bourgeoisie.
The pressing need to build houses, schools, factories and hospitals quickly and at minimal cost brought with it the increasing use of prefabricated elements with their consequent uniformity, monotony and aesthetic mediocrity. New urban and suburban areas emerged as the result, putting at risk the beauty of the natural environment and cities, threatening to turn their inhabitants into cogs in an unstoppable housing and production machine, but conceiving in some cases works of profound architectural value.
